Conclusion
It has been demonstrated that the Accucore XL C8 HPLC column is stable following 2,200
injections of a solution containing the NSAIDS naproxen, fenoprofen, and ibuprofen. Using
isocratic conditions, full separation of the NSAIDs was achieved. The precision of capacity
factors and efficiency for the NSAIDs over the course of the investigation is excellent, and
the Accucore XL C8 HPLC column was shown to provide excellent peak shape for these
compounds.
The Accucore XL HPLC columns have been proven to remain stable over the course of the
analysis, which makes them ideal columns to choose to obtain high-performing and robust
HPLC separations.
